The first part ends with a survey of Greek attempts at federation. In the second part, the Hellenistic State is reviewed, the first territorial monarchy formed on a Western as well as an Eastern basis. Originally published in 1960. This new edition has been considerably revised and extended, and the author has added a chapter in conclusion on the state and civilization in Hellenic and Hellenistic times.
